[QUOTE="diabolic, post: 57280, member: 15533"] I recently had cause to doubt the accuracy of my Optium Xceed blood glucose meter so I conducted a comparison test with another meter of exactly the same model. Both meters were calibrated with the same calibration strip and both meters were checked with a Hi and a Lo control solution. They were both shown to be well within specification. I compared results with these meters by taking blood samples from the same site and at the same time. The results were quite alarming as they showed variations in the readings of between 1% and 20%! I thought at first that this was a result of careless blood sampling but no matter how meticulous I was with the sampling I still got wide variations between the two meters. Has anybody else conducted similar experiments on these meters or any others? [/QUOTE]
